UK medical waste firm dropped after body parts ‘pile up’
A British waste disposal firm has been stripped of its hospital contracts after allowing medical waste to build up, including human body parts, the government said Tuesday.
Healthcare Environment Services (HES) lost contracts with 15 regional bodies within the state-run National Health Service (NHS), health minister Stephen Barclay said.
He added that there was a lack of incineration capacity in Britain and the excessive decision to terminate its contracts would only make this worse.
